Non-baseball: More thoughts on Schwarzenegger
Ok, so I wasn't the only one who was unimpressed by the Governator's speech last night:
Just talked with someone very familiar with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Her reaction to his speech last night was much more subdued than anyone I have talked to. Why? She had heard it all before. Even the Nixon. She said she heard a California delegate say something similar after he delivered.
I don’t think that has any impact on anything: He still, and my gal agreed, delivered it well and in a way no one else quite could have. But to many Californians, it might just have been another Arnold speech.
Yup- that hits the nail right on the head. It wasn't that it was a bad speech, it was that is was the same speech. That would explain why the reaction here in California was decidedly more tempered than elsewhere.
